Android Pay is being replaced with Google Pay. With Google Pay, you’ll have everything you loved about Android Pay with a fresh look and new features. All of the information you’ve added and your Android Pay settings will be the same on Google Pay.

If you’re already using Android Pay, you don’t need to do anything to get started with Google Pay. The next time you update your Android Pay app, it’ll become Google Pay. Learn how to update your app*.

You can enjoy all the benefits and security of your Arvest Bank debit card while using Google Pay. It's the simple, secure and private way to make purchases using compatible Android™ devices.** With the Google Pay app, you can snap a photo of your card and place your unlocked device near a contactless terminal to make purchases at more than a million stores*, online, and in apps.

Use Arvest Debit Cards on Google Pay

Google Pay provides privacy and security during and after each transaction by:

Allowing you to leave your card in your purse or pocket;

Using a unique virtual account number instead of your actual card number; and

Sending you a notification (including the name and number of the store) after every transaction.

** Google Pay is only compatible on Android devices that run KitKat 4.4 or later. Cardholders don't need to have NFC-enabled devices to use Google Pay for online transactions using virtual account numbers (e.g., network tokens).

Google Pay is a trademark of Google LLC. Android, Google Pay, and the Google Logo are trademarks of Google LLC.

Links marked with * go to a third-party site not operated or endorsed by Arvest Bank, an FDIC-insured institution.
